I have a great new site for you guys to check out. ConAgra, makers of probably half the food in your pantry, has a site called The Dish. It’s a place for bloggers to get inspired about food posts, new products, recipes, money saving tips and so much more. For Food bloggers this can be a lifesaver when you’re in a foodie rut and your creative juices have dried up. Anyone, not just bloggers, can go check out their user friendly site and great articles.

For Bloggers, this site is a wealth of information. Not only do they have a list of panelists that you can personally contact with questions you have about building your blog, cooking advice, and kitchen tips, but when you become a member at their First Look, First Taste section, you have access to some great information. You will be able to get exclusive coupons, hear about new products before they even arrive at your grocery store, order samples for review on your blog, and more.

In the Seasonal Spotlight section you’ll be filled in on current food trends and so you can tell your readers about relevant products and foods that change with the seasons. In the Recipe Resource Section you’ll find access to top rated recipes using ConAgra products. If you want to build traffic to your blog, learn to maximize your social media networks or learn to create a paycheck from your love of blogging, you can visit the Ask Our Team section where you’ll find a panel of experts ready to respond to your questions.

So head on over to The Dish and sign up to be a new member and start requesting some product samples to check out. You can also follow them on Twitter @ConAgraDish. And check out this great article I came across from their May issue on snacks that can keep your kids happy. It will give you some good ideas for healthy treats for the kids during these last few weeks of summer.

But that’s not all I have to tell you. Here’s the kicker. Blogger or not, you have the chance to win a $50 Visa gift card from ConAgra Foods. It’s quick and easy and there are no strings attached. Here’s how you can enter to win - just tell me what section of The Dish you think is most useful.
